Travel Through Rich Heritage, Natural Beauty & Heritage
A “just right” exploration of the island of Ireland, both the Republic and Northern Ireland, showcasing stunning beauty, legendary hospitality – and great fun.
We begin in Dublin with its fine Georgian squares and lively pubs. Dublin has been home to many of Ireland's greatest authors and poets: Wilde, Shaw, Swift, O'Casey, Behan, Joyce, Yeats, Samuel Beckett and more. For such a small island the literary traditions and legacies are astounding. Venturing south we’ll explore regal cities, Gothic cathedrals, medieval castles and postcard-perfect villages. We then move to the northern coastline and highlands of Donegal's National Park, with visits to Derry and the wondrous Giant’s Causeway. Continuing through the idyllic glens of Antrim, we end our tour with a visit to Northern Ireland’s capital, Belfast - a delightful city with magnificent Victorian architecture. Throughout the Emerald Isle we will enjoy the chance to mingle with the locals, and the spectacular scenery: heather-cloaked moors, soaring cliffs, deep blue lochs and rolling green hills – and, it’s said, fifty shades of green!
We will also experience the magic and mystery of this historic land which celebrates its past in poems, traditional dancing and beautiful music. You’ll have your chance to kiss the Blarney Stone, sing at a traditional Ceilidh (“kay-lee”) and listen to those myths and legends. We stop at inns and pubs to join the locals in a pint or two of Guinness or a tot or two of Irish whiskey. All of this, combined with the genuine warmth of Ireland's people will have you singing the praises of the Emerald Isle.
* Those joining any of our tours to Europe must be able to walk fairly long distances and climb stairs easily.
